Your rommate starts getting into a semi-solid relationship and you start feeling like a third wheel every time you go home?

Well, you suck it up and hopefully make friends with the new guy also. Presumably you have clear guidelines on guests and overnight visits in terms of shared spaces, food, cleaning and noise levels. If not, get on that right away.

Toilet paper their bed.

Seriously, though, if I were you I would tell your roommate how you feel. Maybe to them you're not a third wheel. And even if they agree that you are, perhaps you can work out some kind of schedule so that they get alone time and you don't have to put up with the googly eyed lovers. You never know unless you communicate.

Is she hawt?

Or an ex?

Dude, most guys [and some girls] I know focus on nothing but their lady the first time they go serious and call it a relationship. Chalk it up to getting good sex? Talk to your roomie if it's affecting the living situation or your friendship and see what's what...

...and if they get too loud, offer to hold the video camera.

Yes, talk,comunicate with your room mate.Be there for concerns,but be sure to get your own space.Your room mate should honour your desire for space,that is not feeling like a spare prick at a wedding, and maybe even schedule when it is that your time and your mate's plus other time happen.
